ASG Second Focus Week Meeting

All guests are welcome! We will have two talks per day, with plenty of time for informal discussions. The talks will take place in the institute's seminar rooms as stated below. Directions of how to get there can be found here. For further information please contact Rainer Klages.

Programme
For scientists who wish to have an introduction to this field, our little lecture series consisting of three lectures should be of particular interest: Our three lecturers will cover main topics from their book Stochastic foundations of movement ecology (Springer, 2013). The lectures are for 1 hour each. All other talks are for 45 minutes with up to 15 minutes of discussion.
